Elixirs

I wasn't quite prepared for this, I know
My hands still haven't got used to the ropes
I promise I'll grow stronger as we go
I'll get a tighter grip here for the pull

But I'm taking a drink from the fountain
I'm trying the elixir of youth
I'm coming on down from the mountain
I'm re-reading the whole book of truth

That calories were burning at the door
You'll have to carry me from off the floor
I wasn't quite prepared for this I know
I grew up a featherbed at home

But I'm taking a drink from the fountain
I'm trying the elixir of youth
I'm coming on down from the mountain
I'm re-reading the whole book of truth

I'm coming on down from the mountain
With some wisdom that's on my tongue
I'm taking a drink from the fountain
So I'll make the day like I am young
